Pioneer Cut Belt Review: Death of the Lever Belt 

Thanks for the kind words! I try to give the best information that I can when making these types of videos.

You won’t regret it!

Christopher Brinkley awesome man, you’re going to love it!

How do you like it?

I love it. It goes well with my blue/yellow tuff wraps. And my green/blue Reebok legacy's.

Thanks man! Trying to get on your level.

They def had their pros for sure. The Pioneer Cut belt is really easy to get on and off as well. Maybe not as fast as a snap, but as far as a prong belt goes it has been the best one I've owned and used as far as getting on and off with ease.

Great idea!

Idk, that's a question you could pose to Matt and the guys over at Pioneer.

The future is here with the PAL belt lever.

Well I have since PR'ed on all of my lifts since purchasing the belt. It is way more comfortable than the Inzer, which I do think helps when lifting.

Dude that’s pretty awesome! Nice work on the conversion.

@@lex_tdb yea it worked well. Everyone who has a longer belt has that option

Thanks man!

I went with the 10mm just because I really don't need something that thick. My limits as a lifter will peak before I feel I need something like a 13mm.

I own the SBD one and dont really enjoy it, a bit too thick and stiff for me, I'm gonna get the 10mm pioneer cut to try out, but the SBD has an awesome adjustable lever!

Romie G nah. The inside is black suede.

Lex_Anderson yeah, I just realized after I left the comment lol. Thanks though!

Yeah that are both the same thickness. The differences between the two are the hole placements, and the material that they are made of.

I've never used the SBD belt personally, and I haven't seen many lifters outside of the IPF team members using the SBD belt.

Is 3 better? I just ordered my belt at 4.

4 is better for most people

fulaan1 Many people prefer a 3 inch for deadlifts or if you have a short torso.

There is some slight digging, but so far it seems to be very minimal. I’ve enjoyed the belt so far. The quality of the leather, and it being one piece of leather also helps in how it feels. It has really broken in nicely, and formed to my waist really well.

I can't even wear my Inzer level, it digs into me so bad, ordering my Pioneer fit belt on Friday!!!

You should contact Matt and the guys if you haven't about that issue.

What's wrong with wanting to order other belts in different colors?

@@lex_tdb nothing "wrong", just demonstrates preference for at least interest in cosmetics rather than function.

I have plenty of interest in function. The belt performs almost flawlessly in my eyes. The quality of the belt has continued to hold up to weekly use, and I'm confident that it will last for years to come. Now if I have the spare funds to buy one in a different color that I like, why wouldn't I? You can have both good cosmetics and good function/quality in a lifting belt. I'd assume you're not like Steve Jobs and don't wear the same style black turtle neck, and jeans everyday of the week right? I mean what's the point of having different color shirts, pants, socks, shoes, belts, watches, etc if they all just have the same functions? There's a reason why I've had only one Inzer in over 4 years, because it wasn't a belt that I would buy again. Pioneer is a different story, at least to me.

@@lex_tdb he kinda has a point...unless you're getting a smaller width belt for bench or something

@@adoboFosho It’s an inane point that only a judgmental asshole would raise.
